This was the day I met Brian. He was line dancing at Floyd’s in Long Beach and he flashed me that really big grin through that awesome red mustache. Instantly smitten. We went on to many great adventures and cultivated a very large group of friends that would stick together for many years. He was a gentle soul. A lover of Disney. Not afraid to try new things and adventures. I will miss you so very much, my dear Bman.
I was shocked and sad when I heard the news of Brian's passing. I have known him since he was 18. Our paths would cross many times in the years since and especially spent a lot of time with mutual friends in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He was always a cheerful guy who was a lot of fun to be around. I'll always remember great times with Brian during Sunday Beer Bust at Floyd's (and "after" parties) as well as laughs at Mineshaft and other Long Beach watering holes. I know he liked (as I do) traveling to Mexico. I hope you're having a good time on the other side with Chip Wills and Larry Judd! Rest in peace, my friend!
